Welcome back, everyone.
Today's lesson is called What a Great Sale!
But where can you find a sale?
Well, one place is at a supermarket.
And that's where Rob and Susie want to go.
Rob wants two different kinds of cereal - chocolate and strawberry.
Well, right now we need to see what else will happen in Conversation C.
Susie! You're back.
Yes. I got a lot of cereal.
Each box was two dollars.
I know!
Where is my cereal?
Well, the store ran out of strawberry cereal.
Really? That's my favorite kind.
What about my chocolate cereal?
The store ran out of that, too.
You're joking!
Yes, I am!
It's April Fool's Day!
Here's your cereal!
Susie made it back to the station after the sale.
But did she buy Rob's cereal, Katie?
Well, I think so.
She said that she got a lot of cereal.
But before we find out, that is a sentence that Christina wants to tell you
something about.
(Chinese).
And how much was the cereal?
Each box was two dollars.
That's really cheap cereal, Katie.
Well, that's why this was a great sale.
And Susie is joking with Rob.
She tells him the store ran out of his cereal.
When you run out of something, you do not have it anymore.
Sometimes I run out of toothpaste because I brush my teeth every day.
And a lot of times I run out of coffee because I make coffee every morning.
So if you run out of something, you have to go to the store and buy it again.
So have you run out of something?
What was it?
You should tell a friend about it.
But first, let's learn a little more.
After Susie tells Rob the store ran out of his cereal, he says, "You're joking!"
What does that mean, Nathan?
Oh, well, he can't believe it.
When we joke, we try to make someone think that something is true when it's
really not.
Yeah. Nathan did that to me earlier today, remember?
He told me we did not have to teach a lesson today.
That's right.
I played a great trick on Katie.
She thought I was telling the truth.
Yes. It was a great trick.
Very funny, Nathan.
But Susie told Rob this because she knows strawberry cereal is Rob's favorite
kind.
That's today's Calendar Phrase.
That's my favorite.
That's my favorite.
(Chinese).
I'm eating pizza.
That's my favorite.
I'm eating cereal.
That's my favorite.
I'm eating chicken.
That's my favorite.
Wait.
You can only have one favorite.
I know. And food is my favorite.
That's my favorite.
That's my favorite.
(Chinese).
So what is your favorite thing, friends?
I know one of your favorite things is reviewing your key words with us.

Susie, there's a great sale at Sam's Supermarket!
Sale?
What kind of sale is it?
It's a cereal sale.
It is today from 9 to 1 and tomorrow from 9 to 1.
Are you going?
No. I can't go.
But I need cereal.
OK. I can go at lunchtime.
What do you want?
I want these two kinds.
OK, Rob wants five boxes of strawberry cereal.
But where are they?
I can ask someone.
Excuse me, sir!
Yes? Can I help you?
I'm looking for strawberry cereal.
Where is it?
You can find it on aisle 12.
Thank you.
I also need chocolate cereal.
That is on aisle 12, too.
Thank you.
This cereal sale is great!

Each box was two dollars.
I know!
Where is my cereal?
Well, the store ran out of strawberry cereal.
Really? That's my favorite kind.
What about my chocolate cereal?
The store ran out of that, too.
You're joking!
Yes, I am!
It's April Fool's Day!
Here's your cereal!
(Music).
Ginger, what are you doing?
Ooh. I'm eating cereal.
Well, why do you have so many boxes?
I love cereal.
And cereal is on sale.
Oh, so you bought all these boxes.
Yeah. They were only two dollars a box.
Wow, that's a good deal.
Yeah. I saved money and mmm... it's delicious.
Mmm. So what kind of cereal did you get?
Banana?
Yeah!
It's my favorite.
Oh. How does it taste?
It tastes like bananas.
It's delicious!
Well, maybe I'll try some, too.
Too late. I ate it all.
Oh. But I didn't get any.
Well, that's OK.
Let's buy more.
It's on sale.
OK!
Hello, everyone.
Let's Play!
I'm your host.
But let's meet today's players.
I'm Patty.
It's nice to meet you, everyone.
My name is Janet.
Good to see you again.
And I'm Joe.
Um. Just Joe?
Oh. Right. Smiley Joe.
I thought so.
And we hope that you play with us, too.
Today's game is, What's That Word?
The answer is a key word from yesterday or today, right here on this little
card.
Are you ready, players?
Ready!
All right.
This word is something you might have in your kitchen.
Dryer.
That's the word.
No. That's not the word.
Who keeps a dryer in their kitchen?
I do. My apartment is pretty small.
Ah, I see.
Well, this word is also something you can eat.
Dollar.
No. That's not it, either.
And who eats dollars?
Smiley Jill.
Smiley Jill?
Ah, is that your sister?
My girlfriend.
I don't have enough dollars to keep her happy.
Oh. Sorry about that.
Well, keep smiling.
Now...
Is cereal the word?
I keep it in the kitchen and you can eat it.
Well, you have the right idea.
But here's another clue.
You should keep this word cold.
It must be strawberry.
Strawberries go bad if you don't keep them cold.
I put them in the refrigerator.
It's next to my dryer.
Well done, Janet.
What's that word?
It is strawberry.
Janet is our winner.
But of course, it was great to have you, Patty.
And Joe, put on a happy face.
We'll see you all next time right here on...
Let's Play!
So, everyone, do you know what your favorite kind of cereal is?
Or your favorite kind of food?
You should try to tell someone about it today.
Well, that's a good idea.
It would be good practice for your English.
Remember, practicing for ten minutes every day is important.
Oh, that's right.
We say that here a lot on Let's Talk in English.
But we say it because it's true.
We are not joking with you.
That's right.
We would not joke with you on any day except April Fool's Day.
Did you joke with anyone today?
Now make sure you join us for part two of this lesson tomorrow.
We really hope to see you here, right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
(Music).
